Re: Nazi Germany-American connection

I meant United States in terms of living standards and a good economoy.

If you are right, then whose fault is it that Russian peasants failed to see your way and believed Lenin?

Also, the provisional government was made up of former Tzar loyalists. Somehow I fail to see how they would grant equal rights to millions of serfs. This situation was incomparable to a relative minority of slaves in America.

Re: Nazi Germany-American connection

They never listened or believed in Lenin. The reason the Bolsheviks got to power were because of the armed sailors who helped them overthrow the winter palace and germany's finance. Lenin was exiled and none of the peasants even knew who he was. He came at the last moment and overthrew the provisional government. The armed sailors did the dirty work for the bolsheviks and then later when famine began to occcur, they fought back against the bolsheviks. Also, Kerensky's mistake of using the bolsheviks to overthrow Kornilov strengthed their position. Big, in a modern democracy serfdom would no longer have existed. Plus, what happened when Lenin came to power, nothing worse can happen than that. I highly doubt 20 million people wold have died under Kerensky's reign.

Well, I could also argue if the Whites put down their weapons, no blood would be shed. There was a civil war saitiev! Those peasants could easily join the Whites and defeat Lenin. But, as far as I know, the peasants fought bravely and happily for Lenin.

The Whites also very happily received funds from abroad to keep killing the Russian peasants.

Re: Nazi Germany-American connection

And lets get one thing straight. The peasants were only peasants because Russian Tzars didn't give them any rights. Among those peasants could have been very smart people. After hundreds of years of abuse they have had enough with the bourgeoisie. Kill the bastards!

Re: Nazi Germany-American connection

People were forced to say anything or be killed. This is how the system worked.
Big, if you believe that the peasants actually liked Lenin after he took all their land and the conditions under him, then I don't know what else to tell you.
